🚆 TRE Train + Free Shuttle
Take the Trinity Railway Express from downtown Dallas Union Station to CentrePort/DFW, then the free FIFA shuttle to the stadium. The most reliable, cheapest, and fastest option on match days.
✓ Avoids all traffic on I-30
✓ Only $2.50 each way
✓ Runs every 30 min on match days
✓ Free shuttle from CentrePort
✗ Need to get to Union Station first
✗ 45–50 min total journey from downtown
🚕 Uber / Lyft
Rideshare directly to AT&T Stadium. The single official drop/pickup zone is the Esports Stadium Arlington lot (~0.7 mi from the gates) — drivers ignoring it get rerouted by Arlington PD. Surge pricing is heavy on match days, easily 3–5× normal rates with 30+ min waits post-match. Locals' fix: walk 10–15 min toward Six Flags or downtown Arlington before requesting the return ride.
✓ Door-to-door convenience
✓ Good if staying in Arlington
✓ No driving stress
✗ $30–80+ each way with surge
✗ Long wait for post-match pick-up
✗ 0.7-mile walk from official zone to gates
🚖 Taxi
Traditional taxis are metered so avoid the worst surge pricing spikes. Dallas Yellow Cab and other services operate in Arlington. Rank fares are regulated — better predictability than Uber on match days. Book in advance if possible.
✓ Metered fare — no surge pricing
✓ More predictable cost ($35–60)
✓ Pre-booking available
✗ Less available than rideshare
✗ Still slow in match traffic
✗ May need to call to book
🚌 DART + TRE Combo
If coming from DFW Airport, take the DART Orange Line to CentrePort station (same station as TRE). Transfer directly to the TRE heading toward Dallas, or just catch the FIFA shuttle directly from CentrePort to the stadium — it stops at both platforms.
✓ Direct from DFW Airport
✓ No transfer to downtown needed
✓ Very cheap ($2.50 + $2.50)
✗ Only works from DFW Airport direction
✗ Requires planning
🚗 Drive & Park
If you have a rental car, driving via I-30 is an option. Arrive 3+ hours early to beat traffic. Official FIFA parking is sold via the JustPark portal (justpark.com/us/event-parking/fifa-world-cup-2026/dallas-stadium): Group $75 / Round of 16 $100 / Quarterfinal $125–$145 / Semifinal $175. Premium Lots 1–2 are 2–5 min walk; Standard 3–4 are 8–12 min; Economy 5–8 are 15–20 min. Off-site cash hacks: Globe Life Field garages ($30–50 when Rangers are away), Lincoln Square shopping center (~$40 spend + walk), J. Gilligan's $16 round-trip shuttle from downtown Arlington, church/private lots $20–30. Tailgating policy is unsettled — Arlington PD has gone back and forth; assume restricted (no large grills/coolers).
✓ Most flexible for large groups
✓ Off-site lots beat official pricing
✓ Book ahead via JustPark or SpotHero
✗ I-30 gridlock on match days
✗ 60–90 min extra each way
✗ Tailgating rules unclear
🚌 Greyhound / Coach USA
Long-distance bus services connect Houston, Austin, San Antonio and Oklahoma City to Dallas. Not for the stadium itself but great for getting to Dallas from other Texas cities for away fans. Buses arrive at Dallas Greyhound station, then use TRE to stadium.
✓ Budget option from $15 one-way
✓ Great for Houston/Austin fans
✓ No rental car needed
✗ Requires onward transit in Dallas
✗ Fixed schedule
